I'm finding it difficult to navigate this forum. If there's a thread I'm interested in, I need to subscribe and then after selecting it, I need to select "view first unread".

And then there's so many sub-forums, I don't know where to look for the topics I'm interested in so I usually click on "new posts". That brings up a rally long list that takes time to wade through.

If I'm missing something, please clue me in. It just seems like there's got to be a better way. If you've ever used any of Delphi's forums, you'll know what I'm going on about.

Surely you can ignore a bunch of the subforums, depending on your interests. Except for one member who seems compelled to make irrelevant posts in every thread, I imagine most members look at no more than a half dozen subs. I don't know why you would need to subscribe to a thread. Just scan the subs you like and see what's new.

You can also use our search function to look up topics you'd be interested in. You can find that in the upper right corner. You can even go into "Advanced" and exclude forums from the search that you don't think you'd be interested in!

I subscribe because I like to follow certain conversations, not just the ones I posted in. I thought everyone did that.

Some people do, yes. You do automatically subscribe to anything you reply to, so more people are subscribed to threads they reply to.

A site: search works for me every time. Change search terms after bikeforums.net/ to meet your needs.

Of course you just have to sift through the old threads to find the gold.
